Apparently, these companies that use 'Business Reply Mail' pay for
the return mail by WEIGHT of mail returned.  So the best way to
get truly even (and to get your name taken off of a mailing list)
is to tape the 'Business Reply Mail' envelope to the back of a
brick.

Now if everyone took the time to do this, maybe junk mail would
end once and for all.
